Time and Unschooling


TIME is the most joyful part of unschooling. My house often looks like this, because my kids can spend an entire day working on something they love without worrying about being interrupted. They have time to dive deeply into topics. 

I also enjoy the TIME we spend sharing and discussing topics. Olivia is writing and researching a couple of ideas for new novels. She is excited and we have the time to hash out her ideas. Sometimes this will take up most of a day, other times it occurs in fleeting moments. Simply knowing our time is basically limitless allows us to enjoy the writing and discussion process.

I also enjoy my TIME more since we have started unschooling. Working on my own interests has inspired my children to spend more time exploring their own interests. Currently Natalie is excited about all things ocean related and Ella is captivated by wolves. 

I am not sure how long these topics will be at the top of my kids interest list, but it is exciting to know that there is no need to hurry. After all, we are unschooler's and we have as much TIME as we desire.
